I only use Mitsuboshi brand timing belts, even on built Subarus.
It was a 10 piece kit and ended up being about $195 after tax and took about 3-4 days for shipping from Japan. It was one the most common kits you see with the Mitsuboshi timing belt. No complaints, worked out great, good price for the amount of parts it contains, and everything seems to be quality Japanese aftermarket parts.
I ran my 2012 pilot with similar miles for 200k without changing the belt (it’s also got that v6 shared with the tl if I’m not mistaken)
I changed the timing belt on my girlfriend's 99 accord last year for a grand total of 24 years and 110k miles. To be honest it looked really good and I wouldn't be surprised if it lasted another 15 years
233,000 mi. 2007 accord with 2.4L vtech. Sold the car to a buddy and it is still going strong.
My sister ran her Honda Odyssey 3.5 to 245k miles. Never had a belt.
I had a 2002 Honda civic at 230K and never changed the timing belt.
I bought a Mitsoboshi (not misspelled) from autohauz az a bit ago and it had a more round, but not completely half moon round, tooth profile than I've seen before on Contitech timing belts.
The cheapest I found to replace the timing belt back then was nearly $1000, and it was due at 60k miles, not 100k like other brands.
change it. do it at the dealer, and don't use an aftermarket belt. I changed mine at the millage i was supposed to(70,000, i think), at a local garage, and he 'saved' me $10 by using a non-honda manufactred belt. fast forward another 30,000 miles and the belt broke. caused $3000 in damages to my top end, (bent valves, etc,) and was not covered by warranty (car, belt or manufacturer). it totalled my car.
